[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

Not at all surprised. I remember when Motorcycle magazine did a torture test on one of these when they finally went to liquid cooling in the early 90's. It went 24 hours at WOT, then the engine was disassembled to see what, if anything, broke or wore out. The GSXR had NO discernible wear on any of its internals, even after running 24 hours at max rpm. Their metallurgy would only have improved since then...

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

DAMN! I gotta read more about this! 💪🏻💪🏻

[@FainieYT]

wow that's so insane... didn't know that

[@FainieYT]

do you have link where i can read about it or watch it?

[@Yakiniq-n7o]

@@FainieYTi believe the bullshit is coming from his own ass

[@KurtG85]

You think companies have improved reliability of their products since the 90s? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@thecf571]

I have a 2010 gsxr 750 it currently has 210,000 km or 130,000 miles still going strong never had any major problems and i ride everyday in all weather . I did cam chain and guides about 100,000 km clutch at 160,000 km didn't need changed two sets of wheel bearings two sets of discs fuel pump and three stators I should be able to get 250,000km out of it

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Super impressive! I’d buy another in a heart beat

[@thecf571]

​@@SALTxTHExWOUND I would love too but no longer available in Australia as a new bike

[@BJJNINJA215]

Just goes to show how important preventative maintenance is for the health of your machine 👍😎 Fantastic bike 🔥

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Absolutely! The thing a lot of people neglect is the easiest way to make them last forever

[@chase1up_2.0]

Love the intro man!👍🏻👍🏻 I appreciate the shout out! 👊🏻 definitely looking forward to this summer!😃

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You bet man! You’ve been putting in the work and deserve it bro! 💪🏻👊🏻

[@danlford]

Dude what and where is that road? Looks like heaven on earth to me.

[@MotoMalek]

I had 2007 GSXR 750 and it had 55,000 miles and it was so fun, those bike are so amazing

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

No doubt, great bikes!

[@2WheelPursuit]

84k miles?!? That is wild. Most riders won't ever put that many miles on any bike ever. But it is true, the GSXR's, especially the current gen, are super reliable. Might need to pick up another myself!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

No doubt! I’d buy another one in a heart beat!

[@petermuurman7624]

I ve got 250.000 km's on my Ducati 998. Yes, first overhauled at 100.000 prventively. Big end bearings was all that needed replacement. If not driving top revs all the time engine can last very long. Good oil helps a lot..frequent change

[@lokeshdeshwal5288]

Suzuki engines are bulletproof man❤

[@JohnShaw26.2]

Came for another salt video. Got salty when you weren’t on my screen but your buddy did a solid job. Followed.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Heyyy bro I appreciate you!

[@Ryan_H22]

I hope Suzuki keeps these around a while longer. I'm learning on and enjoying the snot out of my Ninja 400 but the 750 is my dream bike!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I hope so too! I’ve owned mine since 2016 and I’d buy another one in a heartbeat

[@coastalhillbilly3419]

Simple, light, reliable and still fast, the benefits of manufacturing the same retro sake rocket for over a dozen years

[@gingerbolam]

Don't forget always go for a ride before you change your oil get that engine nice and hot that way when you pull the bolt off all that crap that's hot and circulating through the bike comes out and doesn't get stuck to the walls in the engine if you were to do it when its cold

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

This is a must! 💪🏻💯

[@joemommaganja]

never thought of it like that always did it semi cold or at least let it warm up a bit

[@motorcycleartist]

2018 ,got 10,600 miles.. just serviced n hope for many more miles...great comtent as always Salt!

[@Ineedabouttreefiddy_93]

I absolutely HAMMER on my 750 and I just change my oil with motul very early and often and no issies

[@pablo6305]

I got 04 600 that has 31,000 and not a problem. I just got rid of new motor with on7600 miles. Been kicking myself but your video makes me feel better about it. Thanks.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Right on!

[@larrysgarbage7220]

I had a 09 600 gsxr and it had 16k miles on it and I beat on the that bike and never one had a issue was my first bike and in high school it got rev bombed just about everyday after school and she kept purring no issues I loved the bike!

[@n300zx931]

The GSXR750 is an extremely overlooked and underrated machine. It’s a Fantastic value for someone who doesn’t need or want a 1000cc.

[@72garibay]

I got a 2023 Gsxr 600 put 16,000 so far Suzuki they make amazing motorcycles..

[@philbro1829]

Wow, North Carolina looks like a FUN place to ride... thanks for the GSXR tips and continue to rack up the mileage 😂

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks for watching!

[@Living4hride]

I have an 06 Gsxr 1000 with 18,000 on her and still running strong.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Nice! 👍🏻

[@TrulyUniqueOne]

Barely run in mine is on 34k and runs like a watch

[@brazosducati]

I have a 2006 Ducati Multistrada 1000 with 180,000 miles on it 😊 An old Bandit 600 with 84,000 miles (wrecked). A DR650 with 55,000 miles. Today’s motorcycles are built to such high tolerances it’s really not unusual to rack up high mileage with no issues. Routine maintenance is the most important thing. Suzuki’s are like fine wine, they get better with age 🥰 Arrivederci y’all

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Agreed!

[@motozz8258]

50 k miles the start of what a good engine is , Plenty do from Japan

[@Slow_gixxerr]

So glad I picked up gixxer 750, after hearing this review, I knew they were reliable but this just proves it right here. Amazing bike!

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

I agree, the 750 was designed for a specific type of hooligan.

[@rns6889]

I'm a Honda fan, but every squid needs a gixxer, I desperately want this for a track and hooligan street bike

[@brendon.h]

Does it still have the stock cat in?

[@brokensmilephoto]

Anything with an engine: keep up with maintenance, and you'll be surprised how long it'll last. Unless it's a Chevy Cruize or a Kia GDI motor. lol. "Radiator fluid" (aka coolant) and brake fluid will last a pretty long time (60K miles easy) as long as you don't boil either and change it before it turns completely brown. Every long term high mileage review will tell you the same - keep up with maintenance and all will be good. Basic oil changes are no reason to skip. At least spraying the chain down isn't to bad even with out a stand. Anything else though, if you aren't comfortable - take it to a shop. Not exactly something you want to screw up on a bike, as your safety buffer is a lot less than a car.

[@troyholland3436]

That’s awesome man you think it’ll make it to 100k?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Absolutely!

[@joemommaganja]

what kind of oil do you use

[@GSXR-BOI_750]

Do you think the 2023+ models carry the same reliability as these older ones???

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Absolutely! They’re the same as the 2011 models. 💪🏻

[@muricancars797]

Excellent video. Here I was worried to pin the tach on my new 2025 GSXR 750. I'd love to be able to ride it for the next 15 years without issues. I should get somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 miles a year. Not sure, ask me next September. I do keep up with the maintenance though and will do 3k mile oil changes.

[@kierenmoore3236]

750 such a good size, tho’

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Middle class stud 💪🏻

[@HellGuarDas]

It's amazing weather in America, I live where rains non stop pretty much and I would love to own 750 but I don't know if weather will allow to actually enjoy it

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Ahh bummer man! Sounds like you need to make a move 😜

[@NightSkywalker69]

The GSXR is proven, and this video just solidifies the reliability and robustness. Suzuki and Kawasaki are my brands. ❤

[@StephenIngram6992]

Great video! What road is this? I’ve been on just about all of them besides this one !

[@jordanjoestar8839]

Bought my 15 with 4k miles. Up to 16k in one year without any hiccups. Turn the key and shes ready to go. My friends 636 was at 50k miles. 1st gear was gone, second was going out, leaked half a quart a day, oil smoke out the exhaust, and 2 frame cracks re-welded. Let's just say you can't expect many bikes to be the one-of-a-kind gem the 750 is. Especially motor-wise.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

No doubt man! I had a friend crack the frame on his 636 also! Wild!

[@Bryan-lg3fn]

Thats awesome . I have an article from 2005 Bike magazine about a motorcycle messenger in London that has 800,000 on a Honda VFR with 2 engines 400 000 miles roughly on each engine .....The guys name is STAN . He also owned a few other high mileage bikes , it just shows you with proper maintenance you can get alot of miles out of your bike .

[@motozz8258]

With a quality manufacturer of course , Japanese reputation proven.

[@CP23798]

Do you miss abs? Comfortable for long haul? Thanks.

[@motozz8258]

Quality manufacturing , Japanese bikes , Impressive !

[@MenderSlen579]

can you daily it like a 650cc?and whats its mpg like?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Sure, a lot of people do. If you’re just cruising its around 35-40mpg

[@emirsaracevic]

I`M 6FT 1IN height, thinking to get this one but affraid im too big for it?? your toughts??

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Not at all, my brother in law had the same bike and he's 6'4"

[@kinglue]

So if I buy a 2008 750 $3.5 with 19k miles is worth it 1st bike I do have a mechanic

[@drmitofit2673]

What about valve adjustments? I use mine for light commuting, never abused on the track, lower 2/3rds of the rev range, 16k miles, no ticking. So can I go longer before taking it into the far away shop for a valve adjustment?

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I had mine checked at 20k miles and they were all in spec. Chase has never done valves in his at 83k and still going strong. I think if you hear ticking it’s worth taking it in, otherwise I wouldn’t bother personally

[@kolo...]

That road looks very familiar. Pretty sure I've been on it a number of times.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Consider yourself lucky 🙌🏻

[@wallace245ful]

You love that bike Shout out to you

[@kevinhorne429]

It really amazes me when a bike has only 80000 miles on it , that’s really nothing. My Cf moto 650 has 96000 klms on it. Toured the breadth of Australia in 2020. Nothing has gone wrong, brake pads changed once and apart from oil changes nothing else has been touched. And it’s been thrashed to within a inch of its life. Never crashed.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Very impressive! I think the biggest reason you don’t see many motorcycles with a ton of miles on them is people don’t ride them as often as we drive vehicles. That and weather play a big role. There’s a Honda F4i on KZbin with over 200k on it

[@603mike]

That’s only 59651 miles, not much work for a twin that doesn’t rev that high compared to a 600 supersport. Seen plenty of twins with higher mileage. I’ve seen RSV4s with 40000 miles which is even more surprising.

[@kevinhorne429]

@@603mike Point is that I don’t see 96000 klms as anywhere near high mileage. It’s now done a further 4300 is on it after doing Melbourne to Adelaide twice last month cruising at 80 mph if l thought l could get away with it at around 300 or so miles at a time. It makes me laugh when in the UK 20000 is usually considered high mileage, that’s break in if properly looked after .

[@klousy58]

That's impressive put 55k on my 2006 r6 what an amazing bike

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You can’t go wrong with the big 4 💪🏻

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

Maintenance and staying in its optimal use range. That is how I do it though I am only at 20k

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Yessir! 💪🏻

[@coreyhickman9082]

I want a 1000 really bad Ive had my 600 for 7 years now, hard to convince myself to sell and upgrade might just see how long I can make her last its an 06 636 with 11k miles rn. What about valve maintenance, I know Im coming up on it for my bike

[@jordanjoestar8839]

A 750 is the perfect choice.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I did my valves at 20k on my 750 and they were all in spec

[@mikeparkinson3060]

Stop the 6:36 is notorious for having low end problems.

[@Diabeekei]

Hey salt! How would I look for and price a used gsxr 600-750? I really want one for a track bike and majority of 750 around me are stretched and lowered, i’ve been looking for stock 600/750 and they’re all 3-8k in price (HSV,AL)

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I wouldn’t look away from a stretched or lowered one as long as it runs good, you can get it back to stock easily. But look for one setup for track already preferably.

[@arthurbttf]

About 740 miles a month or 8800 a year.. Is this considered high mileage over there or you just don't ride too much? Is there something to do with riding seasons etc? I put about 2500 miles every month on my little 250 but over here is hot 24/7 365 days, there are no seasons, just *hot*

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Yeah climate makes the biggest difference
